What does hair absord?
A
Oil
B
Water
C
Chlorine
D
All of Above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The physicochemical properties of the human hair make the hair very effective in absorbing oils and various polluting chemical compounds. Thanks to its porous cortex, the hair absorbs water and oil when it comes into contact with it (Vargiolu, 2013).

Detailed explanation-2: -Oils such as castor oil, coconut oil, hempseed oil, jojoba, and olive oil. These heavy oils penetrate the hair shaft and seal the hair like champions. Low Porosity: The cuticles on the hair shaft are tightly sealed so light oils are needed. These oils will seal in the moisture by absorbing into the hair shaft.

Detailed explanation-3: -If you have high porosity hair, it means that water and oils can be easily absorbed by your hair.

Detailed explanation-4: -While some leave oil in their hair overnight, but usually one-two hours should suffice. “If you apply more oil than you need, thinking you need to coat every strand of your hair with oil, you will need the same amount of shampoo to get it off. This may lead to dryness, which is counterproductive.
